LSU physicists at the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory or LIGO in Livingston, LA were some of the first scientists to directly detect gravitational waves (ripples in space and time) and light from the collision of two neutron stars, according to the university. The discovery was made on August 17 using LIGO, the Europe-based Virgo detector, and 70 ground and space-based observatories.
